VLS 3: ZARRICK'S POSSESSION

FOURTY THREE

PAGKATAPOS NG IKALAWANG ARAW nila sa Bohol ay napagpasyahan nilang manatili nalang sa Panglao Island. Sa Buenaventura Paradise sila namalagi. Ang sabi sa kaniya ni Zarrick ay pagmamay-ari raw ito ng pamilya ni Max. Natatandaan niya parin ito, isa ito sa mga kaibigan ni Leandro at Zarrick.

"Okay, ito ang room niyong apat, syempre solo kami ng bebe ko" nangunyapit siya sa braso ni Zarrick at hindi maiwasan ang mapahagikhik. Harrietta glared at her, still not used with her being like that. "Huwag kang pabebe,ate, ha! Takpan mo nalang mata ni Leandro para hindi ka mahiya sakaling sipinga-"

"Erriah" Zarrick's warned her as he pulled her hand.

"Oo na, oo na. Mukha mo Zarrick, huwag kang pa-goodboy, mas malala ka parin sakin" inikutan lang siya ng mata ni Zarrick. "Okay, so yun nga, need niyo enjoyin ang nighteu niyo, okay? Para happy lang tayo lahat, and heaven ang pakiramdam-aw! oo na titigil na!" Zarrick slightly spanked her bottom to make her stop her naughtiness again.

Zarrick pulled her to their own room. As soon as they entered the room he stared at her and then shook his head at her silliness. Erriah's heart danced with joy as he pulled her into a tight hug and then kissed the top of her head.

"Let's marry"

Gulantang si Erriah nang mga sandaling 'yon. Ang ngiti sa kaniyang mga labi ay unti-unting nawala. May kung ano kasing naramdaman si Erriah sa tinig nito. Tila nagpupumilit, nagmamadali, namimilit.

"Zarrick" lumamlam ang kaniyang titig sa binata. She caressed his cheeks through her thumb as she could still feel his tight hug. She could sense his fear for something, like he's afraid to lose her again. "Zarrick, I'm here,okay? Trials go along our way but we're going to face them together. Hindi na ako mawawala, dito lang ako. Kasama ka, kasama mo"

Isang buntong hininga ang ginawa ni Zarrick at tila doon lahat inilabas ang prustrasyon nito. Hindi na ito muli pang nagsalita.

Ramdam ni Erriah ang panaka-nakang pagtitig sa kaniya ni Zarrick. Nag-aayos na siya para maligo at maghanda na sa pagtulog. She wasn't sure if he's feeling okay right now. Base on what she saw a while ago, Zarrick might be thinking negative thoughts again. A lot of what ifs were running on his mind right now, she could see it through his eyes.

"Maliligo na ako" paalam niya dito kahit na hindi naman na kailangan pa. "Zarrick, gusto mong sumabay? Save water, shower together" bumaba taas pa ang kaniyang kilay dito. She wants to lighten up his mood but she wasn't thinking of the consequences of her action. When Zarrick stood up and went to her side, he expertly scoop her up. Nakaharap siya rito habang karga karga siya. Nakapalupot ang mga kamay niya sa batok nito habang ngising-ngisi ang lalaki sa kaniya.

Her mouth opened slightly when he walked towards the bathroom after snatching the bathrobes on the rack. "Teka! Binibiro lang kita!"

Tumingin ito sa kaniya saka sandaling tumigil para lang ngisihan siya. Nasa loob na sila ng banyo nang ibinaba siya nito sa bathtub na ngayon ay umapaw na ang mga bula dahil sa biglaang pagtungtong niya. Zarrick silently picked the shampoo and held her left shoulder motioning her to sit down. She was still silent and just looking at him. Waiting patiently for his next move.

"Strip now, Erriah" seryosong utos nito pero sumasayaw na ang bola ng apoy sa mga mata nito, nagbabaga. "Do I have to start undoing your buttons?"

Taranta siyang nagmamadaling inalis ang damit pang-itaas pero natigil nang sandaling mag-sink in sa kaniya ang pwedeng mangyari sa kanila ngayon ni Zarrick.

She whacked his shoulder and glared at him. Zarrick laughed at her reaction, pulling her slightly towards him. He reached the lock of her bra and she just felt it fell down. Zarrick got the hold of it and threw it beside the door. Hindi inalintana ang pagkakasabit non sa kung saan.
